Package: libpython3.5-stdlib
Version: 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

If I "import test" python imports a module from the stdlib which did not exist 
in 2.7.

Looking at this module it seems to:

* Contain tools for running tests on the python interpreter during development
* Be undocumented (on https://docs.python.org/3/contents.html)
* Be unsupported (see https://bugs.python.org/msg84955)

If I try an environment where python was installed from source, this module is 
not present:

docker run --rm -ti python:3.5-alpine python -c 'import test; 
print(test.__file__)'

This effectively squats the "test" namespace for other modules.
This seems to affect any python3.X version
